I likewise have a bad feeling about this; I hope Will's okay. Torn between "he's going to get his ass handed to him, there's just too many" and "… they don't know what they're getting themselves into." Oh dear.

Yeah, you wanna do your action movie star quote thing AFTER you hit someone. Sucker -punch bottle sneak attack (think of all the extra d6s) and THEN you say "So be quiet." This requires the victim to be incapacitated/unconscious/dead/whatever at the end of your attack but presumably that's what you'd banking on anyway.

Yeah. You're not quipping for the target, you're quipping for the audience. The only time you want to snark is if they know you're there and it's become a battle of wits to make them falter, give you an opening.

I'm worried someone will call the cops and not only will Will go to jail for the fight- he'll be caught as a drug dealer too. But I do think this is pretty badass so far- It's nice to see Will kicking ass.

Presumably even if the employer tries to keep a wholesome, family friendly image, it's aware that allowing something like this to happen without reprisal is bad for business. Even if they did beat Will up and he lost his employment over it, one imagines that some goons would come by at a later point and break everything they own (like, you know, their bones).

Yeah, these guys are actually really lucky that they fucked with Will and not with somebody who would fucking stab them in the face, or blow their brains out. Getting punched in the head is a relatively tame consequence to threatening a drug dealer. And yeah, I doubt Will's boss would fail react to an event like this, and it doesn't matter that he just deals pot. I knew a big-time pot distributor in Boston once, and the dude owned an AK-47 and had some scary friends.

The reality is that, especially in cities, you can't rise past a certain level as a drug dealer without being ready for violence*. I'm pretty sure Will has acknowledged this reality in past arcs, and mentioned that some of his previous bosses have been pretty scary.

*The only alternative is to be incredibly paranoid and selective with your clients, and even then you're in a dangerous line of work. Will delivers weed to strangers, and if a drug dealer did this in reality, the scenario we're about to see in this arc would've already happened years ago.

Party douches would make out way better than Will if the cops showed up. The witnesses would all claim that Will, the drug dealer, initiated the violence (which he did, technically). Will is carrying a lot of weed in his bag, and all of the witnesses would report that he was the one who brought the weed to the party (which again would be true). Will could actually go to jail, especially if he has prior convictions, which seems probable.

The odds look pretty bad even for a well trained unarmed fighter; best way out I could think of would be to try to hurt one of them very badly and hope to intimidate the rest. Will having a (broken) bottle would change the dynamic very fast, because a mess of jagged glass with a handle is naturally pretty damn intimidating. He might even get paid.

The cops get called on Will- he goes to Hanna who is also a fugitive from the art destruction arc and they go on the run. Meredith Gran ends OP and spins them off in an a ironic Thelma and Louise- drama comic
